Mailwasher's preview feature will NOT display HTML at all. You can still view
the "raw source" though.
Outlook can be configured to force plain text.
Create a registry key to do this. The key is:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Options\Mail
Add a DWORD of READASPLAIN=1
Now all messages will be displayed as plain text.
I don't know what Brad's platform is, so all the above may or may not
be usable for him.
In the same vein: Outlook *Express*, which is even more common than
Outlook, can also be forced to display as plain text:
Tools -> Options... -> Read -> tick "Read all messages in plain text"
What this does is display the text/plain part of a (text/plain +
text/html) multipart/alternative message or strip the HTML from a
text/html-only message.
However this causes the resulting problem of not seeing a HTML
formatted message when you *want to*, i.e. when you know it is from a
known-good source and the HTML contains added-value.
One can of course untick the above setting, but 1) that's rather
akward and 2) prone to forgetting to tick it again. A solution for that
problem is the Alt+Shift+H keyboard shortcut. That will display the
currently viewed message as rendered HTML (assuming there *is* HTML to
render), but only for the current message, i.e. when you display another
message, it will again be displayed as plain text.
I hope this helps someone.
